Hello everyone and happy Thanksgiving! Today I'm excited to be sharing an article with you that I've wanted to do for a long time! I am a history lover as well as a name lover and it's always wonderful when those two loves coincide! The story of the Mayflower passengers fascinates me (you can read my review of the documentary Desperate Crossing: the Untold Story of the Mayflower on boundlessadventure.xyz) and so do their names! This isn't a comprehensive list, just a list of names that stuck out to me. There were multiple Johns, Williams, Edwards, Marys and Elizabeths that I didn't include. You can read the full passenger list and learn more about each person at mayflowerhistory.com.

Boys Names

Bartholomew

Bartholomew Allerton was the son of Isaac and Mary Allerton. He was less than 10 years old when the Mayflower landed on America's shores in 1620. Bartholomew is of course a biblical name (the name of one of Jesus's 12 apostles), which were exceedingly common at the time. Biblical names are still popular but Bartholomew is not currently in the United States top 1000.

Degory

Degory (possibly spelled Digory) Priest was the uncle of the Bartholomew Allerton above. If Degory is another spelling of Digory, then it likely comes from Cornish and means "stout and firm". I personally much prefer the Digory spelling, and it is that spelling that C.S. Lewis uses in his Chronicles of Narnia series.

Elias

Not much is known about Mayflower passenger Elias Story. He did not sign the Mayflower Compact, suggesting that he was possibly younger than 18 or 21. Elias is a variation on Elijah. Elijah is currently the 11th most popular boys name in the United States and Elias is #100.

Francis

Francis was the name of three Mayflower passengers: young Francis Billington (about 14 years old when they landed), Francis Eaton, and Francis Cooke. Francis Cooke appears to be a member of the separatist group seeking religious freedom that we tend to think of when we think of "the pilgrims", with Francis Eaton it is unclear, but the Billington family were not members of the separatist group. There are accounts that Francis Billington nearly sank the ship while they were at Provincetown Harbor by firing a gun too close to an uncovered barrel of gunpowder, setting fire to a cabin. Though not nearly as popular as it must have been in their day, Francis is on the rise. It was #482 for boys is 2015.

`

Gilbert

Gilbert Winslow was the brother of prominent settler Edward Winslow. He lived in America for a time but later returned to England and died there. Another fun fact about the Winslow brothers: their mother's name was Magdalene, a name that I love! Gilbert is also a very handsome name with lots of appeal, even though it lingers towards the bottom of the U.S. top 1000 list at #983.

Giles

Giles Hopkins was the son of Stephen Hopkins and step-son of Elizabeth Hopkins. He would have been 12 or 13 when they arrived in America. Even though rhyming Miles is rising in popularity, Giles is not in the U.S. top 1000.

Jasper

Not too much is known about Jasper More. The name Jasper is an excellent one, however and is currently at #215 in the United States.

Love

Love is the sort of antiquated virtue name we tend to think of when we think of the so-called pilgrims. Love Brewster (who was about 9 years old while on the Mayflower) was the son (yes, son, I'm sure) of esteemed elder William Brewster and had siblings named Patience, Wrestling, Fear---- and Jonathan. He even named a son after his brother Wrestling (though he stuck to fairly conventional names otherwise). I'm not sure we will ever see Love become popular as a first name for boys or girls, but I think it would make a very sweet middle name.

Moses

Moses Fletcher had a wife and ten children, but he traveled alone on the Mayflower. He would have been in his 60's during the Mayflower voyage. Several of his children would have already been adults and some had already married into Dutch families while the separatist group was living in Holland. It's been speculated that Moses Fletcher's wife might have already passed away and that's why he traveled alone. Moses, of course, is a prominent Bible figure and I would presume that it was a much more common name back then than it is today. Moses is currently at #471, nowhere near as popular as Noah or Elijah, but not doing too bad either.

Myles

Myles Standish was a soldier hired by the pilgrims to be their military captain and help keep them safe from any potential threat. He was involved in keeping the law in Plymouth colony, and took on other roles as well. The name Miles (which means "soldier") has become quite popular in the United States and is currently at #107 with the Miles spelling. Myles is somewhat less popular at #223, but still fairly well used. You can checkout Myles Standish's signature here on mayflowerhistory.com.

Oceanus

Oceanus Hopkins was the famous child of Stephen and Elizabeth Hopkins who was born while the Mayflower was in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. I love that they chose such a commemorative name for him! Choosing a name for a child based off the circumstances of their birth was not uncommon back then. The Hopkins family were not members of the separatist group or the name Oceanus might strike me as just a little bit too pagan for their particularly strict religious beliefs, as the name Oceanus comes from Greek mythology. I think Oceanus is a fascinating name and I love its sound! It's not popular at all in the United States, and it's unlikely that it ever will be. We have seen Ocean as a celebrity baby name before and even though I personally like it much less than Oceanus, I think Ocean has a lot more potential in today's naming culture.

Peregrine

Peregrine White was the other baby born while onboard the Mayflower. HE was born while they were at the Provincetown Harbor. The name Peregrine fittingly means "pilgrim" or "traveller" in Latin. This name is not popular at all today and not found in the U.S. top 1000. I have heard of it being used, though. Today it is most commonly associated with the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien, whose character Peregrine "Pippin" Took is feature in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. This would be a great choice for travel (and Tolkien) loving parents looking for a name that's under the radar. The nicknames Perry, Reg, Pippin, and Pip all help to make Peregrine appealing!

Resolved

Resolved White, older brother of Peregrine White was a very young child when he sailed with his mother and father on the Mayflower, maybe even as young as 5. The name Resolved certainly has the old Puritan feel that we would associate with the Mayflower passengers. I don't think that Resolved would be to the taste of many people today, but I personally love a good spiritual word name! I would probably only consider using Resolved in the middle name spot but I do really like it! A fun fact: Resolved's father was named William and William is sometimes translated as "resolute protection". See the connection? I doubt it was intentional, but it's still really cool!

Solomon

Solomon Prower was unmarried and traveled alone on the Mayflower. The name Solomon is now on the rise again along with other Old Testament names like Noah, Elijah, and Abraham that also went through a period of disuse. I personally love the name Solomon! I love the biblical writings of King Solomon and I love that Solomon means peace.

Wrestling

Wrestling Brewster was the brother of Love Brewster who also traveled on the Mayflower (see above). Wrestling might seem like an odd name choice, especially for the highly religious separatist group Wrestling's father William Brewster was a leader in. I've always interpreted it as a nod to the meaning of the important name Israel that is given in the Bible, "wrestles with God". Again, it's unlikely to be a name most modern parents would find appealing, but I personally find it intriguing (though not enough to consider using myself).

Girls Names

Agnes

Agnes Tilley traveled on the Mayflower with her husband Edward, her nephew Henry Samson, and her niece Humility Cooper. Agnes is a Greek name that means "pure". It's definitely fallen out of favor but I can see it coming back into fashion with other "old-ladyish" names.

Alice

Alice Mullins was the wife of William Mullins, but beyond that there is little known about her. The name Alice is enjoying some popularity again right now and is currently #87 in the U.S.

Constance

Constance Hopkins traveled on the Mayflower with many members of her family, including her father Stephen and her step-mother Elizabeth, who gave birth to baby Oceanus Hopkins while on board. The name Constance definitely has an old-ladyish feel to it, but those sort of names are coming back into fashion so we may see Constance rise, especially with the nickname Connie.

Desire Minter traveled without any of her imediate family on the Mayflower and was likely a teenager. She returned to England within the first three years. The name Desire may sound sultry to us but it likely had different connotations to the very religious seperatists, more like a desire to be godly or a desire to do good.

Dorothy

Dorothy Bradford was the wife of William Bradford, who wrote many accounts of the colonists experiences and eventually became the govorner. I was shocked to find the name Dorothy in the top 1000 (#714), even though I'd heard rumors of its comeback in the baby name community. What I like best about the name Dorothy is that it means "gift of God", one of my favorite name meanings.

Eleanor

Eleanor Billington traveled on the Mayflower with her husband John, and two sons, John and Francis. The name Eleanor is a lovely name with a robust history that I'm happy to see enjoying some popularity again (#60 in 2015). The name Eleanor has a long and complicated history and a disputed meaning (I'm sticking with the variation of the Greek Helen, meaning "light" theory). What's not disputed is that it is a well-loved name in English history and well-loved by parents today!

Humility

Humility Cooper came on the Mayflower as a baby in care of her aunt Alice Tilley. Humility has a lovely sound to it and was a very fitting virtue name in their society. In all honesty, in our modern culture, I'd be less surprised to meet a baby named Pride than a baby named Humility. If you read the Dear America book that was a fictionalized account of a fictional Mayflower passenger, you might recall that there was a little girl named Humility in the story who went by "Hummy".

Priscilla

Pricilla Mullins traveled on the Mayflower along with her mother, father and brother. She was about 18 years old at the time. Priscilla is one of my personal favorite biblical girls names because of the strong example of Priscilla in the New Testament, a woman Priscilla Mullins parents were likely fond of as well. Priscilla is currently hovering right in the middle of the U.S. popularity charts at #502.

Remember

Remember Allerton was about five years old when she made the trip across the ocean with her family. If you read the Dear America books growing up, you know that the fictional diary of the girl on the Mayflower was written by a "Remember Patience Whipple", who often went by "Mem". It's worth noting that none of the passenger seem to have middle names. Remember is probably my favorite girls name on this list! I love a good spiritual word name! Nicknames like Ember, Mem , and Remy make Remember totally usable in my opinion!

Rose

Rose Standish was the wife of Myles Standish, the soldier hired as a military adviser. They married not too long before making this journey. Rose is a name heard over and over again in the middle name spot these days, but not nearly as often in the first name spot. It truly is a lovely flower name and should be given more of a chance to come first instead of second!

Susanna

Susanna White traveled on the Mayflower with her husband William White and their young son Resolved. She gave birth to another son Peregrine while on board the Mayflower. Susanna is another one of my personal favorite biblical girls names, though I prefer the Susannah spelling. The only form of Susanna that's in the top 1000 is Susan at #929. I think Susanna/Susannah's comeback is long overdue!

Well, that's my list of names from the Mayflower passenger list! I encourage you to visit mayflowerhistory.com and learn more about these people and check out the other names on the list! My very favorites from this list are Resolved, Solomon, Elias, Oceanus, Peregrine and Jasper for boys and Remember, Susanna, Damaris, Priscilla, Humility and Eleanor for girls. It was hard to narrow it down!

Please tell me your favorites in the comments or any that really stuck out to you!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Dear America: A Journey to the New World, Diary of Remember Patience Whipple

Hello friends! Who else is absolutely thrilled for the long-awaited return to the wizarding world of Harry Potter in the recently released film Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them? As someone grew up with the Harry Potter books and movies, I know I am! One of the many things I love about J.K. Rowling's writing is her obvious passion for names! She does such a fantastic job naming her characters that I could write volumes on them, but we'll start with these 30 Magnificent Harry Potter Inspired Names for now.

Since I only chose 30 (15 for each gender), I can pretty much only cover some of the more iconic characters but Rowling's character names are definitely a topic I'd like to revisit on this site. We'll start with the girls names and they're arranged alphabetically because it was much too difficult to pick favorites!

I should also mention... BOOK AND MOVIE SPOILERS AHEAD and if you're unfamiliar with certain Harry Potter universe term, you might feel a little lost at times. Whether you are hearing about these character for the first time or just want to relive some of their magic, I'd encourage you to read the books! Also, watch the movies and if you're just wanting to know more beyond my brief descriptions here, visit the Harry Potter wikia or join Pottermore, the official site for more Harry Potter!

Andromeda

Greek

"to be mindful of man"

Andromeda is a grand Greek name that fits into a lot of modern naming trends (Greek, constellation, long), but maybe its sound is a bit too harsh for it really become popular. I really like meaning "to be mindful of man". Andromeda (Black) Tonks is Sirius Black's favorite cousin and Nymphadora Tonks's mother in the Harry Potter books.

Angelina

Greek

"angel" or "messenger"

While Angela feels somewhat dated now, Angelina still feels fun and fresh. In the Harry Potter books, Angelina Johnson is a chaser on Gryffindor's quidditch team.

Arabella

Latin

"answered prayer" or "beautiful altar"

Arabella is certainly a name that's on-trend (#194 in 2015). It's a nice alternative to the stunningly popular Isabella. You can still get the much-loved nickname Bella, or go with something spunky like Ari. In the Harry Potter books Arabella is the first name of Mrs. Figg, the squib (non-magical person born to a magical family) sent to keep an eye on Harry on Privet Drive.

Ariana

Italian from Greek

"resembling silver" or "one who is holy"

Ariana is currently at #43 with this spelling, though there are many spellings being used today. It's safe to people are loving Ariana these days (and that's not even mentioning the very similar Aria and Arya). Both the possible meanings of "resembling silver" and "one who is holy" strike me as pleasant and intriguing. Ariana in the Harry Potter books is the sister of Professor Dumbledore who meets a tragic end.

Cho

Japanese

"butterfly"

Cho is a name that exists in many Asian languages and has various meanings. One possible meaning is butterfly in Japanese. Cho Chang is a Ravenclaw student at Hogwarts that Harry Potter has a crush on throughout some of the books.

Fleur

French

"flower"

Fleur is a lovely French word name meaning flower. It could cause issues with pronunciation in non-French speaking countries. I know I read the name as "floor" when reading about the French Beauxbatons Triwizard champion in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The movie straightened things out for me by the time she appeared in later books.

Ginevra

Italian version of English Guinevere

"white shadow"

Ginevra's meaning "white shadow" gives me a mysterious impression. Ginevra related to the much more popular Jennifer, making it a great alternative or honor name. You can still get the nicknames Gin or Ginny (which admittedly, I read as "ginea" as a 10-year-old Potter fan.... the movies straightened me out on this one too). If Ev or Evie are more your style, you could use them as nicknames as well. Ginevra "Ginny" is by far the most interesting of all the names of the Weasley children. SHe begins the story as Ron's little sister who spends her time fangirling over Harry, but becomes a powerful witch in her own right. In the epilogue, we learn that Ginny Weasley becomes Ginny Potter (no surprise there).

Helena

Greek

"light"

Helena is a glorious name that is tragically underutilized. There are two equally correct, yet very different pronunciations commonly heard: "hel-LAY-nuh" (like Elaina with an h sound at the beginning) and "HEL-en-uh" (like Helen with an uh sound at the end). I prefer the first pronunciation, but the movie uses the second. Helena is the daughter of Hogwarts founder Rowena Ravenclaw who appears as a ghost in the story and helps Harry find one of the horcruxes. She is also known as "the Grey Lady".

Hermione

Greek

"earthly"

Hermione is a lovely name and by far one of the best characters in the books and movies. Her movie actress Emma Watson is well-beloved her role as Hermione and her other works. The name Hermione has not gone on to achieve popularity, though. I think the fact that both the name and the character are so distinctive makes the name appear less usable for a child. I always kind of wanted an explanation for this name. Most of the unique names in this series I attributes to the fact that the wizarding world has a seperate culture (and naming culture from the rest of us). I'd like to know why Hermione's seemingly boring muggle parents chose such a striking name. There is the pronunciation issue with this one as well. I don't know how I managed to get this name right, but not Fleur or Ginny. I remember arguing with a friend about how to pronounce it before the movies came out. He insisted it was pronounced "her-mee-OWN". Nevertheless, it's a wonderful name! It comes from Greek myth (the daughter of Helen of Troy) and meaning "earthly" is very interesting.

Lavender

English

"the color lavender"

Lavender is one of my very favorite color names and I'm very surprised it's not more widely used. Lav might not be the most attractive nickname but Endi is pretty cute! Lavender Brown isn't the most charming character in the books (and she's made even more annoying in the movies), but I love this name nonetheless! I would not have advised Mr. and Mrs. Brown to name their daughter Lavender, though, because doubling up on color names is just too much!

Lily

English

"a lily"

Lily is a name that has really taken off in popularity in the past 20 years (though it has fallen some recently). You could attribute some of Lily's popularity to the lovely Lily Evans Potter, Harry's mother. However, a classic flower name like Lily was bound to come back into fashion eventually. Lily Potter is truly an outstanding character and much more accessible as a name than Hermione and Ginevra, the two other main heroines in the series, so I think it's a great choice for a Potter fan looking to use a Potter name for their daughter.

Luna

Latin

"moon"

Luna is a sweet little celestial Harry Potter name, and of all the names on this entire list, I believe it's the one whose popularity can be most easily attributed to Harry Potter. Luna rose from obscurity in 2003, making it's first appearance on the U.S. top 1000 list at #889. In 2015, it was #110 and it doesn't seem to be slowing down! I can see it making the top 100 in 2016. In the wizarding world of Harry Potter, there is no shortage of fascinating and strange characters, but Luna Lovegood was certainly one of the strangest. I think because of that, she was always my personal favorite. She makes her first appearance in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, which was published in July of 2003, the same year the name Luna first appeared on the charts!

Minerva

Latin

"having strength of mind"

Minerva is the Roman goddess of wisdom, and though her Greek counterpart Athena has really taken off in popularity recently, Minerva is still waiting on her revival. Minerva has a certain old-ladyish charm but it's unique sound might put some parents off. It is a great choice if you're looking to get the nickname Minnie, though! Professor Minerva McGonagall is the transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts, head of the Gryffindor house, and all-around awesome character in the Harry Potter novels.

Raven

English

"a raven"

If you have an affection for the Ravenclaw house at Hogwarts, Raven might make a great baby name choice for you (even though the animal on their emblem is meant to be an eagle, not a raven). Keep in mind, though, that your child could always be sorted into Hufflepuff!

Rowena

Welsh

"famous friend"

Like Helena, Rowena can be pronounced two ways: "RO-win-uh" or "ro-WEE-nuh". In this case as well, the movies choose the pronunciation I'm less fond of. Rowena Ravenclaw is one of the founders of Hogwarts. The students sorted into Ravenclaw house are known for their cunning. Many modern parents tend to pefer Rowan over Rowena, and I would see Rowan as a perfectly acceptable tribute to Rowena Ravenclaw, if Rowena itself is not your style.

Now for the boys...

Albus

Latin

"white"

Albus is a name I see with a lot of potential, especially since similar names like Silas and Titus have become fairly popular. It's not currently in the U.S. top 1000, though. To a Harry Potter fan, Albus is an easily recognizable name to the series, but to anyone else, might just seem like a unique but usable name choice. Albus Dumbledore is the headmaster of Hogwarts for most of the series and one of Harry Potter's greatest mentors, so much that he names of his sons Albus in Dumbledore's honor.

Cedric

Celtic

"bounty"

Cedric is a classic name that's not getting the attention it deserves right now, at #856 in the United States. Cedric Diggory is a talented young Hogwarts student and quidditch player on Hufflepuff's team. He's selected as the Hogwarts Triwizard Tournament champion by the goblet of fire, and his tragic death marks a turning point in the Harry Potter series where everything afterwards becomes much darker.

Cormac

Irish

"charioteer"

Cormac is an interesting Irish name that hasn't effectively made the transition to the American side of the pond, making it a little under-the-radar right now, and a great alternative to the many other Irish names that have become mega-popular in America. One issue you could have here is pronunciation, even though the movie pronouces it just how it is spelled: "COR-mack" (not "COR-mick", like the spice brand, which is spelled McCormick). Cormac McClaggen is an over-confident Gryffindor student that appears in the final two Harry Potter books and the movie version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. He's not the most likable character, though he is well-named.

Florean

Latin

"flowering"

Florean is another spelling of the name Florian, which has also not made its way into American naming culture. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say American parents would be more likely to make this into a girls name than to use it on a boy, but I think it's a great name! If you're looking for a boys name that's different, has a softer sound, and not likely to become popular, Florean or Florian might be a good choice for you! Florean Fortescue runs an ice-cream shop in Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter books, and he was also an expert on certain periods of magical history.

Godric

Anglo-Saxon

"God's power"

I really like Godric's bold sound, making it one of my favorite names in the series. It has not seen any popluarity in America or the U.K., despite being one of the more important names in the series. Godric Gryffindor was one of the founders of Hogwarts and the house of Gryffindor is named for him. The neighborhood where Harry's family lived before they were murdered was called Godric's Hollow, and Harry makes a trip there in the final book (and second-to-last movie). Though he is long-dead before the Harry Potter books take place, it would be hard to underestimate the significance of Godric Gryffindor to Harry Potter's story.

Griffin

English

"a griffin"

A griffin is an extraordinary mythological creature that is half eagle and half lion. Another possible meaning for this name is "strong lord", from Welsh. While there is no one named Griffin in the Harry Potter books, Griffin would be a nice nod to Godric Gryffindor and the Hogwarts house of Gryffindor. Griffin is a fairly popular name in the United States, coming in at #236. It's not overly popular, but it's very familiar and usable.

Harry

German

"estate ruler"

Harry, of course, is the most iconic name from the Harry Potter series, though it's rather unremarkable as a name. Harry is a diminutive of Henry, though it is Harry Potter's given name. Henry is a popular classic in both the U.S. and the U.K. Harry on its own is #3 in the U.K. according to 2015 data, but only #781 in the U.S. Harry James Potter is the protagonist of the Harry Potter series (shocker) and he's also known as "the boy who lived" and "the chosen one". What more can I say about him? He's Harry Potter! Read the books; they're excellent!

Neville

French

"new village"

Neville is a name that grows on you, kind of like the character of Neville Longbottom. It starts off sounding sort of geeky, but after awhile you realize that it's more intriguing, charming and amazing than it first appeared. Nonetheless, Neville is not in the United States top 1000.

Newton

English

"new town"

With the recent release of the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, how can I not talk about Newton, the full first name of the protagonist Newt Scamander. I think Newton has a lot of potential in that it's a surname ending in -on (a very popular trend). The fact that figs come to find is less appealing, though, and the nickname Newt might not be to everyone's liking. With the popularity of Fantastic Beasts, however, we could very well see this name rise! For now, though, it's still under-the-radar.

OllivanderEnglish and Greek

"man of the olive tree"

Ollivander is a very unique name but it has a lot of appealing qualities, including similarities to popular names such as Oliver and Alexander. Mr. Ollivander was the best wand maker in the Harry Potter series. Harry meets him for the first time when he purchases his first wand in Diagon Alley, and he even plays a key role in the final book. Ollivander is definitely one of my favorite names from the series!

Seamus

Irish form of James

"deceiver"

Seamus might seem commonplace in the U.K., but here in America, it still has a unexpected, fresh feel. It's one of my favorite Irish baby names, even though it has yet to achieve the popularity of Irish cousin Sean. This was another name I read incorrectly before the movies helped me with the pronunciation (it's SHAY-mus, not SEE-mus). Seamus Finnegan is another boy sorted into Gryffindor house in the same year as Harry. He and Harry have their squabbles but they're usually friends and Seamus is eventually a member of Dumbledore's Army.

Sirius

Greek

"scorching" or "glowing"

Sirius is an outstanding celestial name. The star Sirius is the brightest star visable from any part of earth and is also known as"the dog star". It's a part of the constellation Canis Major. Sirius Black is the best friend of Harry Potter's father James and Harry's godfather. His role throughout the series is key ever since his first appearance in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban. Many of the members of the Black family are given celestial names such as Sirius's cousin Andromeda and father Orion. Sirius Black is one of the best character in a book overflowing with great character and the name Sirius is very cool as well, but the fact that it sounds the same as the word "serious" might be the reason more people don't choose it for their sons.

Severus

Latin

"stern"

Severus is a fitting name choice for the character of Severus Snape, a very stern and mysterious character. Snape is probably one of the most interesting characters and he doesn't show his truest colors until the very end. Harry and Ginny Potter believed him to be a worthy namesake for their son Albus Severus, but I'm not sure how many other parents would follow suit. If you're looking for a similar name that's slightly less grand, you might try Severin.

Wulfric

Anglo-Saxon

"wolf power"

Wulfic is an interesting old anglo-saxon name and a great choice for someone who is looking to get the nickname Wolf (Wulfric can also be spelled Wolfric). Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore is quite a mouthful of a name but Wulfric would be an unexpected nod to one of Hogwarts's greatest headmasters.

Xenophilius

Greek

"lover of foreigners" or "hospitable"

Xenophilius is another Harry Potter name that I believe was a perfect for the character. It comes from the same roots as the ancient Greek word for hospitality, or the love of foreigners or strangers. It could also just be interpreted as a lover of strange things, and that Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood was! Xenophilius might not be a very usuable name today, but it's still one of my favorites from the Harry Potter series!

What are YOUR favorite names from the Harry Potter series? Would you ever use one? Tell me what your favorite book series is in the comments and I might be able to do a name article on it!

I can't wait to do another article on the fascinating names from world of Harry Potter!
